Soap Of The Week

Rosehip & Geranium

 

An olive oil rich soap further enriched with rose hip oil. Geranium and Rose essential oils give this soap a wonderful floral scent with a rich nourshing lather. The addition of finely ground hand picked rose hips means it also gently exfoliates leaving the skin feeling extra silky smooth.
This soap also makes a fantastic shampoo bar for Greasey & Combination Hair, it lathers up beautifully, givi...ng off small gentle bubbles and leaving the hair squeaky clean, I recommend that you use on alternate days with you normal shampoo.

Ingredients:

Aqua, Olea Europea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Oil, Rosa Mosqueta (Rosehip) Fruit Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens, Rosa Centifolia in Vitis Vinifera, Ground Rosa Mosqueta.

In the making of this soap we use Palm Oil, Now "Don't Panic" We source our palm oil from a supplier that is registered with The Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) this means that all of our Palm Oil comes from sustainable sources and is guaranteed not to endanger animals such as the orangutang. We pride ourselves on our Environmentally Freindly Stance and source such ingredients only after researching the supplier in depth.

New Year New Start

16/01/12

Well here goes, it’s the New Year so my work room has been top & tailed, its been stripped, cleaned, mould proofed, painted twice and in some places 3 times, everything has been sorted, tidied and put back together, so its as fresh as a daisy all ready for me to crack on.

My first mission is to make Heart soaps ready for Valentines & Mothers Day, I will be doing these in Sunflower & Calendula and Rose & Ylang Ylang, and possibly Lavender & Thyme, but we'll see how the others turn out first. I will up load photos when they have cured for 48hrs, so fingers crossed.

Then I have my usual stock to build up then hopefully next week I will start playing around with some of my new recipes, it works out instead of 10 I have 12 new soap recipes, the first 3 will be the Kitchen Scrub, which is made with Coffee & Vanilla, Just Olive which is mainly made with Olive oil and Sea Spray, which is made using seaweed & green clay. These will all be ready for sale hopefully by the end of February as promised, all three of these soaps will be cut into cubes and sold as they come.
